Review: The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

April 23, 2024

Guy Ritchie has been seemingly working nonstop recently, releasing two movies last year, the recent The Gentlemen series on Netflix, and, most recently, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, a fun action romp that feels like a combination of Inglourious Basterds and Ocean’s 11.

Review: Monkey Man

April 9, 2024

Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

April 2, 2024

Last year we got the emotional heft and massive action of the Oscar winning Godzilla Minus One but on the other end of the spectrum is the recently released Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which delivers ridiculous and dumb but fun monster action as the latest chapter in the Monsterverse.

Review: Madame Web

February 20, 2024

While Sony’s Spider-Man Universe™ has given us the absolute highs of the animated Spider-Verse, it’s also given us slop like Morbius and, somehow, Madame Web is even worse.  In fact, it’s one of the worst superhero/comic book movies ever made.

Review: Argylle

Matthew Vaughn returns to the world of espionage with Argylle but unfortunately, the movie prioritizes plot twists at the expense of everything else, like interesting character development.

Review: The Beekeeper

January 16, 2024

Jason Statham has recently had a string of mediocre to just plain terrible movies (*cough* Expend4bles *cough*), with only Wrath of Man delivering what we really want from Statham.  The Beekeeper is thankfully peak Statham and utterly ridiculous in almost every way.

November 14, 2023

Although it had the lowest opening weekend ever for the MCU, The Marvels isn’t a total disaster but it is kind of a mess lifted by its main trio of stars and some fun action.
